Ten Top Notes Music Studio  students had a wonderful day showing off their talents last Sunday when they participated in the Music Teachers’ Association of NSW Hills District Junior Music Festival.  It was wonderful to see many students come well prepared and smartly dressed, and give impressive performances of pieces they have worked so hard on over the last few weeks.  Caitlin Handel and Anish Joseph received Participation Certificates, and the following students received special commendations from the adjudicators.  A special mention should be made of Charlotte Choy who was also awarded a Highly Commended for her piano performance in the Intermediate section.  Well done to everyone for participating – and being the only Woodwind representatives in the entire Festival!
